Media Luke Rockhold talking about Alex Pereira

Luke Rockhold couldnt even win enough fights to get a fight against AP. So, with that being said, I really dont care for his opinion on the subject.
 
Luke knows damn well that his wrestling sucks and he can't get Alex to the ground, so all this about apart from his striking everything sucks point is moot
 
Left Hook Luke would get annihilated by Perreira. Maybe pre-USADA Luke could submit Alex but we're way past that point now.

Luke at his best was one of the greatest grapplers MMA's ever seen, period. I'd heavily favour him over Poatan if they fought prime for prime. But yeah, that was a fight that never materialized cuz Poatan was too busy making pocket change KO'ing Dustin Jacoby-level kickboxers while Luke was storming toward the championship.

Would've been an interesting one, for sure.
 
It's really funny how jealous Poatan has made everyone. He's taken everything they worked for motherfuckers

"lucky SOB"
 
What? Really? Outgrappling Weidman and submitting Bisping doesn't really earn him this accolade imo.
Squashing Branch, nullifying Souza, Mashing Machida... at his best, the guy on top was just plain murder. Looked like he weighed a metric ton of pure hate.
 
If he said this about a prime McGregor (who's grappling is superior to Pereira's), Sherdog would be glazing Rockhold so hard rn
 
Like most of his fights, had they fought he’d have looked good until getting violently KOd
 
Pereira probably doesn't have a great ground game, but it doesn't matter if he is controlling distance and getting KO's relatively easy when standing. When was the last time he was taken down and kept down long enough to suffer significant damage? Plus even if Pereira were to lose a round or two due to an opponent having success with wrestling / grappling, they still have to make it through 25 minutes in a title fight without getting KO/TKO by a guy who can finish a fight with a single strike.
